Rome Italy family trip - The Tiber River boat tour was very nice, smooth sailing and was able to see some great views and sights. The crew was friendly and very easy to find the boat

Seeing rome from the... - Seeing rome from the river was a fabulous experience. The catacombs were fascinating. The two excursions are not near each other and we had quite about of difficulty getting from from one to the other, as this was unclear.

This is not a tour, but individual entries to two separate activities! - This is two separate events combined into one tour to sell. It is not a traditional tour and is over priced for what you get. In addition, we had to take an UBER ride to access the Catacombs because we thought the boat ride would get us close to catacombs but it would have been over an hour walk at the closest stop. The boat is just a ride with no audio available as the description states. Our captain was a bit grumpy when we tried to ask for assistance as well. The tour at the Catacomb was interesting but is only 45 minutes. You can do both of these things on your own but I would skip the boat.

No boat tour - I am disappointed that we only got the catacomb guided tour, and not any boat tour at the Tiber river. We went to the given adress, ie to the catacombs. There the person at the ticket desk gave us our tickets, but he did not know anything about any boat tour. Although, the catacomb guided tour was very good.

!!! Scam!!! - Scam! I don't recommend it. There are two separate entrances: one for the Catacombs of San Calixto and one for the boat. These two activities cost less if purchased directly from their respective sites. Plus, you have to spend extra money to get to each place

This excursion is a fraud package. See below. - This excursion is a total fraud. They don’t give clear directions even where to meet the boat at, and tell you to go to the catacombs first. We did that, then had to walk 55 minutes to try to find the boat. During the walking time we had a member of our travel party get sick. I called and Viator know and requested a partial refund on the BOAT part only, and it the was denied. I was not given a valid reason for their refusal to refund the boat part of the excursion. The Catacomb part of the excursion was only 10 euro per ticket, so they charged close to 50 euro per seat on the boat, and we had 4 people unable to take the trip, so we are out 200 euros. We could not go back the next day because our train left Rome for Florence the next morning. They finally said we could send a doctor’s excuse but by then we were back in the USA and of course didn’t have one. I would never use Viator again. They are frauds.
